Instagram will now let you pinch to zoom on iOS

For quite some time you have not been able to zoom in on photos on Instagram. And it can be difficult to view the images. Today, the social network announced that pinch to zoom has launched on the iOS.

The new pinch to zoom feature is simple and accomplishes the task of zooming in on content. This new feature works for both photos and videos within the iOS application. You can zoom in on a photo or video on a profile, in discover, or in the feed.

Instagram has pushed out the update for its iOS application, and it should be available now. The pinch to zoom functionality will land on Android devices in the coming weeks.
